My Request: Lily58 Pro Glow (LEDs + Kailh Sockets)

Lily58 Pro Glow which will have both Kailh Sockets, and per key LEDs

Lily58L (Sold by keycapsss. Has LEDs + Kailh Sockets + Encoder)

Best case scenario. The design is not free though. To buy a pair of PCBs is not possible in the USA and costs $28 Euros.

What is a Kailh Socket?

Picture: Kailh sockets soldered onto a PCB along with SMD Diode and SMD LED.

A Kailh socket soldered on a PCB gives a person the ability to swap out any mechanical keyboard switch they want without soldering.having to desolder. The ability to do this makes it hot-swappable.

Typically on a normal mechanical keyboard switches are soldered to the PCB and have to be desoldered to change switches. With the Kailh socket solderingthe switches can just be pulled out of the socket and desolderinga isnew notone necessarycan tobe changepushed switches.in all without desoldering/soldering.
